A name in Armenian.

Note that this tag is useful when object has names specified in more than one language:

  • If name=* is in Armenian then it specifies which language is used in main name tag
  • If name=* is in a different language then it specifies name in Armenian

Nagorno-Karabakh

Note that even if Armenian population will be fully expelled from Nagorno-Karabakh (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_of_Nagorno-Karabakh_Armenians ) then it is not valid to remove name:hy=* and in case of changing name=* tags then Armenian name must be kept in name:hy=* as Armenians names are still in use.

See https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/edit-warring-over-nagorno-karabakh-region-republic/57413/18 thread for discussion concerning this.
